Ch. 3021..3030

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3021-Luna rubbed her eyes in exasperation. 'We can't.

"When John left the city, he specifically requested for Joshua not to follow him or attempt to track him down because he wanted nothing to do with any of us, so...Joshua did exactly as he asked. He didn't send any men to keep an eye on them or track them down. Now...we have no idea where John or little Sammie went."

This was the reason she had gotten into that fight with Joshua.

She could understand John's unwillingness to be affiliated with any of them and knew full well that John hated her guts out of all of them, but...

She could not help feeling that Joshua could have done more to protect John and Sammie. Even if he had to fulfill John's request, he could have secretly sent some men to keep an eye on them so that they could be aware of John's whereabouts.

Although Luna did not intend on intruding in their lives...

She sighed. "I just miss them so much.’

All she wanted to do was keep an eye on them from afar, and all she wanted to know was that John and Sammie were alright.

The least she could do was make sure that the last two people who were linked to Anne were safe and sound, and if anything were to happen, she could reach out to offer help if needed.

However, Joshua failed to do so.

He chose to let John disappear without a trace, just because John asked him to.

Luna was very much concerned about whom John would reach out to for help if he needed it, and when she questioned Joshua about this, Joshua's reply infuriated her even more.

Joshua had told her that as a man, John should have the responsibility of protecting his daughter at all costs, and if he could not even do so, there was no point continuing to live anymore.

This spiraled into a huge fight that resulted in the both of them refusing to speak to each other.

Gwen was silent for a moment after hearing this.

A split second later, she paused and said, "I think Joshua was right to do this.

"If you were to continue keeping an eye on John, you wouldn't be able to stop yourself from helping should they get into trouble, and no matter how cautious you think you are, you're bound to slip up, and John will be furious when he finds out.

"And they'd be in even bigger trouble if anyone found out about their whereabouts, so when John told you not to track him down, Joshua was right to oblige.

"Also, I trust that John will be able to raise Sammie all on his own, and besides..."

Gwen paused. "Perhaps he might even remarry in the future, and we should give him our blessings for this. I know that as Anne's best friend, it's hard for you to swallow this pill, but we have to try our best to understand. Let's not overthink this more than we should, Luna. It's time to let go.

"It's been a while since Anne's death now, and I'm sure she wouldn't want to see you fight with Joshua over her."

Luna was silent for a long time. Then, she curled her lips into a bitter smile. "It’s easier said than done, isn't it? Gwen..."

She closed her eyes, and her voice began to shake. "My best friend died because of me. Even though Jacqueline also paid the price, I can't shake off the fact that Anne will never come back. How can I... How can I let this go?

"Can you let go of Luke's death?

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3022-"Why are we talking about me again?" Gwen was silent for a moment before finally furrowing her brows and forcing an amused tone. 'Weren't we talking about you? Stop trying to change the subject!"

Luna could tell that she was feigning nonchalance. "It's already been six months, Gwen, yet you haven't moved on from Luke, so how can you expect me to do the same about Anne?"

She still dreamed of Anne, both during and after she got out of prison.

Images of Anne's shock and pity when she first laid eyes on Luna’s disfigured face.

Images of Anne keeping her company throughout the night when she could not sleep due to the pain of the surgery.

Anne had been there for her through the darkest days of her life, so how could she forget so soon that she was the culprit of Anne's death?

Gwen sighed when she heard Luna's sorrow and decided not to kid around any longer. She replied in a low voice, "Luna, we all have to grow up and face reality. As cruel as it sounds...we have to look forward.

"You can't waste the rest of your life away, engulfed by your guilt and grief, and likewise, I'm slowly learning to let go of mine as well. We'll both be fine.

N

Luna felt as though something had stirred within her.

For a split second, she could not help feeling that Gwen's words were even more of a reassurance than any of Joshua's apologies. She let out a sigh and replied, "Okay. L..I need to go make lunch now. I'll bring Joshua his lunch and...apologize to him."

She knew she had overreacted the last few days, but she did not want to apologize to Joshua out of ego.

However, Gwen's words had changed her mind and helped calm her down, and it was about time she reflected on her mistakes.

"Alright. Go, go." Gwen chuckled when she heard this. "I need to go make some food too. Stefan and Kurt might come home for lunch soon."

With that, Luna hung up the phone and headed into the kitchen.

She spent the rest of the morning cooking in the kitchen and finally prepared a delicious feast to bring to Joshua's office.

However, to her surprise, when she arrived at his office, she was welcomed by the sight of Joshua sitting at his desk, having lunch with a beautiful woman.

The woman was slender and attractive and appeared to be a few years younger than Luna.

The two of them were engaged in casual conversation while having their meal, and for the first time in a few days, Luna saw Joshua smile again.

All her excitement dissipated at the sight of this.

As certain as she was that after going through so many ups and downs together, Joshua would never cheat on her, she still could not help feeling uneasy at this.

During the past few days, he refused to talk to her-apart from his apology- much less dine together with her.

She could not believe that after whipping him a hearty feast, he would turn out to be enjoying lunch with another woman!

"Ma'am." All of a sudden, Lucas appeared in front of her, having just come out of the elevator, clutching a stack of documents. He caught sight of

Luna standing at the door and quickly greeted her. 'Are you here to have lunch with Sir?"

Luna glanced at him, frowning. "No, not him."

She shoved the thermal food container into his hands and said, ’Here. I made this for you. Better eat while it's still hot."

With that, she turned and strode away

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3023 -Lucas was frozen in shock as he watched Luna saunter away.

After Luna disappeared into the elevator, he finally broke out of his stupor. He glanced first at the food container in his hands, then at the sight of Joshua chatting with the woman in his office, and immediately understood what had happened.

He smacked his forehead in regret and quickly strode into the room.

"Mr. Bean, why did you bring an extra portion of food when Joshua and I are almost done with our meal?" the woman asked, frowning as she glanced at the container in Lucas' hand.

Lucas rolled his eyes at her-just out of her sight-and placed the container in front of Joshua. "Sir, I ran into Ma'am outside the door just now. She came to bring you your lunch."

With that, he glanced at the woman and added with a hint of contempt, "I'm thinking that Ma'am must've arrived just in time to see you enjoying your lunch with Ms. Moore here and got the wrong idea."

As he said this, he could not help rolling his eyes at the woman. "Ms. Moore, you shouldn't have done this. Since you came all the way to visit your cousin, why did you choose only to visit Sir here at his office instead of visiting Ma'am as well? Now that Ma'am has misunderstood, they might even get into a fight, and if that happens, how are you going to continue working here?"

With that, Lucas turned to stare at Joshua. "You, too, Sir. Even if Ms. Moore here is just your cousin, you shouldn't have chosen to have lunch with her in private, in your office like this. Everyone else will get the wrong idea. And besides, it's clear that you didn't tell Ma'am that your cousin, Ms.

Tara Moore has come to visit! Seeing that Ma'am wasn't aware of Ms. Moore's arrival, she must've misinterpreted things when she bumped into this!"

Joshua furrowed his brows, glancing at Lucas.

Lucas had been working for him for so long that they had gotten way too comfortable with each other. Although

Lucas was the assistant and he was the CEO, he could not believe that Lucas had assumed a position of criticizing him.

Regardless...

Joshua glanced at Tara with a frown. "You're right."

With that, he stood up, grabbed his coat, and snatched the food container that Lucas brought to him. "I need to go home now."

Tara froze, then got to her feet as well. "Joshua, are you going home to sweet-talk your wife? Do you need me to go with you and explain everything? Since this was all my fault, I should bear responsibility too, right? Come on, let me go home with you."

Lucas rolled his eyes when he heard this. He could not believe how shameless Tara was!

He thought Christian was bad enough, but it turned out the other member of the Moore family, Tara, was even more shameless than him!

"There's no need for that," said Joshua as he sauntered out of the room. "I can explain it to her by myself. Luna isn't an unreasonable person."

All of a sudden, he paused in his footsteps and added, "You should stay here. Lucas will tell you what to do."

Lucas balked at this.

He was supposed to babysit this woman while Joshua was gone? He would rather die!

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3024 -By the time Joshua made his way to the building lobby, the driver from Lynch Mansion had just pulled the car over.

Luna opened the door and was just about to get in when someone grabbed hold of her arm.

She turned around with a frown and came face-to-face with Joshua's chiseled face.

Luna rolled her eyes as soon as she saw who it was. "What are you doing here?"

He sure seemed to be enjoying his meal with that attractive young woman, so why was he here all of a sudden?

"Lucas told me you came and left without saying another word, so I came to see what was happening." Joshua gestured for her to get in the car. "Why did you leave without saying hi?"

Luna rolled her eyes, then got into the car and turned to shoot him a murderous look. "Well, I saw how engrossed you were in that conversation with the charming young girl and didn't think it was my place to interrupt, Mr. Lynch."

Then, she glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and added, "Is that your new secretary? I've never seen her here before."

"Yes." Joshua nodded earnestly. "She's my new secretary, and she just joined two days ago. She—"

"She had the privilege of dining with the esteemed CEO after just two days of starting work here?" Luna cut him off with a scoff and shot him a contemptuous look. "You're getting more and more shameless, Mr. Lynch."

Whether it was Aura or Fiona, Joshua never once allowed them into his office to have lunch with him like this.

This woman had just joined the company for two days, yet he had broken all his rules for her. Was he becoming more and more shameless, or just plain disrespectful?

Did this mean that he would go so far as to bed another new female employee when she was not around in the future?

The more Luna thought about this, the angrier she got, so she turned her head aside to stare out the window and remained silent.

Joshua could not help feeling amused by the sight. He curled his lips into a smile, staring at her for a long time, before finally saying, "Her name is Tara Moore."

Luna glanced at him in disdain. "What a pretty name."

"What I'm saying is…" Joshua smirked, then reached out to pull Luna into his arms. "Her surname is Moore, just like Christian Moore, Rianna Moore, and Eanne Moore."

Luna, who had initially been struggling against his grasp, froze when she heard this. She turned to gape at him. "Are you saying…that she's a relative of yours?"

"Yes." Joshua sighed. "A few days ago when we got into that fight, I reflected on my part in this. You're right; I failed to take your feelings into consideration, so I sent some of my men to track John down.

"According to them, John and Sammie had been to plenty of cities during these few months, with the most recent one being Jordan City, where my maternal grandfather resided.

"Therefore, I got in contact with my relatives in hopes they'd be able to help me."

With that, Joshua pressed a kiss onto Luna's forehead and continued, "Although I didn't manage to find John there, they sent Tara over in hopes that I'd be able to teach her my ways of business."

As he said this, he gently pinched Luna's check playfully. "Why else would I allow her to have lunch with me in my office? It's because she's my cousin."

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3025 -"She’s my cousin."

These three words rang in Luna's ear and seemed to make all her boiling rage disappear. She furrowed her brow, shoved Joshua away, and gaped at him incredulously. "You have a cousin sister?"

Joshua smiled, then reached out to pull her back into his embrace. "Hey, you have a brother that you didn't know about, so why can't I have a cousin sister too? Besides, didn't I tell you this back in Saigen City?

"My mother and Aunt Eanne are twin sisters born into the Moore family. It's just that both of them ended up rebelling against their family and chose to marry outside of their homes. Aunt Eanne chose to be with Thomas' father, whereas my mother ended up with Adrian."

Luna could not help sighing when she heard this. "Rianna and Eanne are both decent women. novelxo.com fast update It's just sad that..."

Unfortunately, neither of them had good taste in men. Thomas' father, Howard, and Adrian were equally sly, deceitful, and cunning.

Joshua knew exactly what Luna was talking about even before she finished her sentence. He smirked and said, "Thankfully, I took after my mother, and Thomas took after his. The bad-father gene didn't pass onto us."

Then, he shifted the topic back to the Moore family. "Although both my mother and Aunt Eanne had left Jordan City, they were still a part of the family and were still related to them by blood.

"Thomas and I have three other uncles. Do you remember Christian, who came all the way to Banyan City to find you and is now still serving his time in jail? Well, he's the son of my third uncle.

"My first uncle is already old now, and his sons and daughters have built their lives outside of the family.

"My second uncle, on the other hand, got his heart broken when he was a young man and swore not to marry. Tara is his adopted daughter. Although she does not carry the blood of the Moores in her veins, my uncle has always treated her like his own. Therefore, she's still a part of the family and is technically my cousin."

Luna rolled her eyes at this. "She's not even related to you by blood?"

"So what if she isn't?" Joshua gently pressed another kiss onto her forehead. "Just because we're not related doesn't mean I can't talk to her or have lunch with her, right?"

He could not help reaching out to pinch her cheek once more. "Are you getting jealous of my cousin?"

Luna pursed her lips at this. She had gotten over the fight with Joshua with Gwen's help, and since Joshua had explained everything to her, she could not stay mad at him for another second longer.

She pouted and burrowed deeper into Joshua's embrace, then lifted her head to stare at his chiseled face. "Who’s jealous? Not me."

"Alright. It's just me, then." Joshua gently tapped her chin and kissed her on her rosy lips, then added, "She's been working for me for two days now, and I wanted to tell you this, but we were so engrossed in our fight that I forgot all about it. However, the truth is, she's not suited to be my secretary.

N

Joshua sighed. "Why don't I let her work for you as an assistant in your studio instead? Your work is more boring, so I'm sure after a few months, she'll lose interest and decide to go home."

Luna rolled her eyes at him. "You're asking me to babysit your cousin? Besides, what makes you think my work is boring? Jewelry design is fun and interesting, okay?"

Joshua was amused by this and decided to change the subject. "Well, my men have already tracked down the city John is in right now. Do you want to go check on him in secret?"

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3026 -Luna was immediately intrigued by the prospect of being able to see John and Sammie again, despite Gwen having shot down this idea of hers just a few hours ago. She bit her lip and glanced at Joshua. "Can I do that? Are you sure no one will catch wind of where they are and find them? I-"

"No one will." Joshua knew precisely what she was worried about. He curled his lips into a smile as he pulled her closer to him and replied, "Don't worry. We have Tara to help us."

Luna froze in surprise. "Tara? What does she have to do with this?"

Joshua smiled again. "Well, the Moore family owns plenty of businesses in Sharnwick City, and that's exactly where John and Sammie are now.

"This was also one of the reasons my uncle sent Tara over to visit us; to act as a cover-up for when we travel to Sharnwick City. That way, even if anyone intends to take revenge on me by targeting the people around me, no one would dare to lay a finger on the Moore family.

"You should come with me to Sharnwick City. We will use escorting Tara back home as an excuse to travel there, and while we're there, I'll secretly arrange for you to visit John and Sammie before returning.

"I promise that no one will find out about this, not even John himself."

Luna's heart lurched when she heard this.

This meant that Tara's arrival in Banyan City and subsequent employment at Lynch Group was all a part of Joshua's plan.

It turned out Tara was just a tool for him to arrange a trip to Sharnwick City to fulfill Luna's wish of visiting John and Sammie in secret.

All ounce of Luna's jealousy dissipated when she connected the dots. She pursed her lips and gently reached out to wrap her arms around Joshua's slender waist. "Thank you, honey."

She rarely addressed him this way ever since her accident seven years ago, even after they settled their differences and reconciled once more.

Therefore, Joshua could not help stiffening in surprise when he heard this.

A split second later, however, he leaned down and gently pressed a kiss on her cheeks. "You're not mad at me anymore?"

Luna shook her head. "No more!"

"That's good to hear," Joshua chuckled, "Pack your bags.

We'll leave for Sharnwick City in a week."

Luna nodded eagerly. "Alright!"

Meanwhile, in Sea City, Stefan and Kurt spent an entire week trying to get on Tyson's good side and earn his trust.

That day, Tyson sent them on a mission to Sharnwick City to fulfill two tasks: capture a woman, and keep an eye on an

old man.

Stefan guessed that this old man in question was none other than Gwen's father, Andy, but, who was the woman they were supposed to capture?

"We have to try, no matter what," Stefan said as he stared at Gwen, who was bustling around the house, packing her bags, "but are you sure you want to come with us?"

Gwen paused. A split second later, she lifted her head to smile at Stefan. "Of course."

"Even though we don't know for sure who the man Tyson sent you to keep an eye on is, what if he turns out to be my father? If so, I need to be by his side as soon as I can."

Gwen was worried sick for the past week, ever since she found out that her father was held captive.

She would not rest until she saw her father.

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3027-"If so, you have to promise to listen to our every word." Stefan did not try to stop Gwen from coming. Instead, he chose to share the details of Tyson's mission with them with her.

Tyson was sent to Sharnwick City with a group of his subordinates. This was because he still did not trust Stefan and Kurt a hundred percent, especially considering Kurt was loyal to Luke before this.

However, Stefan and Kurt were so outstanding in combat that no one could match up against them, which was why Tyson had no choice but to send them to Sharnwick City on this crucial mission.

He was so eager to send them over as soon as possible because he heard through the grapevine that Joshua was about to visit Sharnwick City.

Tyson was worried that Joshua would attempt to rescue Andy from captivity, so he decided to entrust Stefan and Kurt with the crucial task of protecting Andy.

"Joshua's going to Sharnwick City?" Gwen widened her eyes in shock when she heard this.

"Yes," Stefan glanced at her, "Joshua's not going to be alone; Luna is going with him, as well as some other girl called Tara."

With that, he shrugged and added, "According to Tyson, they're heading there to break your father out, but I don't think that's the case. Perhaps they're heading there for business, in particular, to help Joshua's uncle with their family business, as they claim."

Stefan also inquired Joshua about his intentions of visiting Sharnwick City, but Joshua deliberately avoided the question and instead patronized him by saying he had business to attend to.

Stefan was not too familiar with the ins and outs of the business world, so he had no choice but to take Joshua's word for it.

Gwen froze when she heard this.

Luna was following Joshua to Sharnwick City?

Luna never once mentioned this to her despite them having remained in contact for the past week.

She thought Tyson sent Stefan and Kurt over because he was impressed by their outstanding performance, but it turned out they were tasked to protect Andy out of fear that Joshua would break him out of captivity.

At the thought of this, Gwen paused, then turned to glance at Stefan. "Since you and Kurt are following Tyson's men. Does this mean I can follow Luna and Joshua?"

She would no doubt get caught if she were to tag along with Stefan and Kurt. Until this point, she was pondering howto remain concealed from the rest of Tyson's gang members, but now, after finding out that Joshua and Luna were headed to the same destination, this would solve all her

problems!

"That's right." Stefan nodded. "Talk to Luna about this. I think they're departing tomorrow. It shouldn't be too difficult for them to stop by here and pick you up before heading to Sharnwick City."

Gwen nodded eagerly. "Okay!"

With that, she returned to her room and called Luna.

Luna was delighted to hear that Gwen wanted to come along. "Of course, you can come! We'll go pick you up tomorrow. Wait for us! Don't worry, I still remember the location of your house!"

Luna grew up in Sea City, and although she did not return in years, she was still familiar with the place, and it would not be too hard for her to find Gwen's address.

"Okay!" Gwen was so excited that she remained on the call with Luna, chattering on for a little while longer, before finally hanging up.

The next morning, Stefan and Kurt left with the rest of Tyson's men.

Before departing, Stefan helped Gwen prepare all her necessary belongings and arranged for her to wait for Luna and Joshua in Kurt's room, just to be safe.

Gwen abided by all his instructions and waited patiently for Luna to arrive.

However, to her surprise-

Not long after Stefan and Kurt left, someone else showed up -it was none other than Ben with his new girlfriend!

This time, they were even more daring than the last; when they entered the door, Ben and the woman began making out and started fooling around-right on the living room sofa!

Gwen, still tucked away in Kurt's little room, furrowed her brows as she glanced at the time, trying her best to ignore Ben and the woman's moans.

What a pervert!

She could not believe their astute timing!

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3028 -"Oh, Ben!" "You slut!" the woman's moans of pleasure were interspersed with Ben's lustful growls.

Gwen wanted nothing more than to storm out of the room and strangle these two!

There was only half an hour away from Luna and Joshua's stipulated arrival time, and yet these two were still messing around!

Why did she never notice it lasting this long, even when he was with her?

Did he take some sort of pill before this?

"The pill is working splendidly!" the woman piped up as though she sensed Gwen's exact thought. "You're doing so well, Ben!"

"I told you; I had this within me, I just needed the pill to help me bring out my potential!" Ben snickered gleefully.

Gwen rolled her eyes at this.

All of a sudden, her phone buzzed with a message from Luna. [Gwennie, we're almost there. Are you ready?]

Gwen needed to learn how to respond to this. She paused, then replied, [Um, I have a situation.]

[What happened?]

[Something weird. Can you guys come a little later?]

It was one thing for Joshua and Luna to run into Ben and his new girlfriend, but another problem entirely if Ben were to tell Tyson about her return to Sea City and subsequent meetup with Joshua and Luna.

After all, all Tyson knew was that Joshua would likely try to break Andy out of imprisonment, but if Ben were to spill the beans, then Tyson's suspicions would be confirmed, and might even transport Andy somewhere else once he got a whiff of this.

Stefan and Kurt's efforts would have been wasted if all that happened!

[Alright. It's perfect timing too. We've run into a traffic jam on the way. Take your time and text me again when you're ready. We'll head over then.]

Luna did not question what Gwen was up to and instead gladly obliged.

Gwen felt a weight lift off her shoulders when she saw this. She closed her eyes, exhaled, and continued eavesdropping on the commotion outside the door.

Ben and the woman were still engrossed in their throes of pleasure, and judging by the noise, they seemed to have moved from their original spot.

The worse part was-they seemed to heading right in her direction.

"Thud!"

The woman's back was slammed against the door as they started fooling around, right on the other side of Gwen's door.

Gwen furrowed her brows when she heard this.

Damn it!

She would kill Ben once everything was over!

All of a sudden, a car screeched to a halt right outside the house.

Alarm bells sounded in Gwen's head.

Could Joshua and Luna have arrived early?

However, Luna already promised that she would wait until Gwen was ready!

"Ben," Meanwhile, the two people on the other side of the door did not seem to notice anything and were still caught up in the heat of the moment.

Gwen bit her lip, her heart lurching into her throat as she waited to see what happened next.

"Thud-"

All of a sudden, the front door was flung open, followed by the sounds of thundering footsteps as men stormed into the house.

Ben and the woman finally stopped.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Ben's guarded voice

rang out. "This is my house! This is private property, and none of this has anything to do with you! Get out before I call the cops on you for trespassing!"

"Is that so?" a man's cold voice rang out. "If that's the case, why have I heard rumors of this being Gwen Larson's house instead?

"We received a tip that Gwen Larson is hiding right in this very house."

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3029 -Gwen felt her heart skip a beat.

All the cells in her body seemed to be screaming in fear.

How could, how could this be?

How could Tyson have discovered her hiding spot?

What was she going to do?

Would Luna and Joshua make it here in time if she were to call them now?

"Gwen's friends have arrived in Sea City, and our boss picked up on that immediately, so he deliberately caused a traffic jam to stall them!" the man outside declared as though he could sense Gwen's thought.

Gwen felt her heart sink.

No wonder Luna got caught in a traffic jam without warning/

It was all Tyson's doing!

Gwen bit her lip and placed her entire weight against the door, closing her eyes and awaiting her inevitable fate.

This house was not big at all, and with careful searching, the men would find her sooner or later.

With Stefan and Kurt out of the picture, there was no way she could make it out alive.

"There's no Gwen Larson here!" Ben's voice rang out. "You must be mistaken! Gwen's my ex-wife, and this is my baby here. If Gwen were to be hiding in this house, she would've stormed out to tear us apart by now.

"She loves me so much that she could never bear to see me being intimate with another woman," Ben was adamant," you must be mistaken!"

The man sneered when he heard this. "You say that Gwen is your ex-wife, and this is your baby?"

Ben replied, "Yes, we—"

However, before he could even finish, he was interrupted by the woman's bloodcurdling scream.

The man grabbed hold of Ben's girlfriend.

This was certainly not what Gwen expected. She opened her eyes and pressed her ear against the door, trying to figure out what was happening outside.

"Ex-husband and ex-wife doing it in their old shared house. That's a kink I can get by,” the man snickered, then instructed his subordinates, "Take Gwen Larson away!"

Ben stiffened for a moment, then lunged forward to stop them. "She's not Gwen!"

"I'm not Gwen! I'm not Gwen!" the woman wailed in terror." I'm just doing this with him for the money. I don't know who Gwen is, and neither am I his ex-wife! You've got the wrong person!"

"The wrong person?" the man sneered. "Only two people are in this house, so who else would it be if not you?"

This exasperated Ben. "Does Tyson know how stupid you all are? Don't you all know what Gwen looks like?"

The man paused in his footsteps, then turned around and gave a naked Ben a hard kick in his shin. "Three months ago, all the photos of Gwen Larson were destroyed, including those on the internet and in her files. All the photos were ruined or swapped out with other people's-more than fifty different women. Our boss can't even tell them apart at this point. No one remembers what Gwen Larson looks like, save for Winson, but unfortunately as of now, he can't come back to join us, so none of us have any idea what Gwen looks like! rv

With that, he scoffed and added, "However, that's not important. She's going to die soon anyway, so what does it matter what she looks like?"

Pursuing my ex-wife is not easy chapter 3030 -Gwen closed her eyes. Thank God.

Thank God none of Luke's old subordinates remembered what she looked like.

Gwen let out a sigh of relief amid Ben's howls and the woman's wails of agony.

She wondered why Ben decided to bring the woman here, but now, it turned out that Ben saved her life.

If they did not show up here, Tyson's men would have turned the entire place upside down to search for her, and she would surely be caught.

The car started, and the woman's howls grew further and further away.

Finally, after the car was out of earshot, Gwen let out another exhale of relief and texted Luna. [You can come over now.]

Before this, Stefan specifically warned her not to leave the room, not before Luna and Joshua arrived.

Taking his instruction to heart, she decided to continue waiting for them in the little room.

Luna's reply came quickly. [The jam has subsided too. Well be right over!]

Gwen felt as though a weight was lifted off her shoulders.

"Gwen?" all of a sudden, Ben's voice rang out.

Gwen's entire body stiffened.

She could tell from the proximity of Ben's voice that he was standing right on the other side of the door!

Her heart leaped into her throat.

"Gwen," Ben knocked gently on the door, a hint of contempt in his tone, "you're inside, aren't you? I know you're there. I was under the impression that a hobo moved into this house, but turns out it was you."

He sneered and continued, "I knew you were hiding here when those thugs mentioned it. The only reason I didn't tell them is because I wanted to capture you myself and turn you in for a reward. I can't believe how stupid those idiots are. They don't know what you look like and even got the wrong woman."

He curled his lips into a smirk. "But I guess this works perfectly in my favor. Since they've taken her away, I don't have to share my reward with her anymore and can take it all for myself!"

Ben's words sent a chill down her spine. She could not believe the words that came out of his mouth!

Just a few minutes ago he was intertwined with that woman, and yet now he was allowing her to be captured out of greed!

"Open the door, Gwen. You can run but you can’t hide," Ben started to push against the door, "you're far too weak, and I can easily overpower you!"

As he said this, he started shoving harder.

Gwen instinctively began resisting. Although the door was locked, she was still worried that Ben would be able to break the lock!

After his attempts proved to be futile, Ben burst into laughter. "You locked yourself in there, didn't you? Did you think you'd be safe just because of this?"

As he said this, he reached out and plucked the set of keys that were hanging around his neck off their chain. "Too bad that I still keep all the keys to this house, Gwen!"

With that, he put the key into the hole and began to turn.
